Stavanger, Norway (2001 – present)
Sirenia is a Norwegian gothic metal band, formed in Stavanger, Norway in 2001. Sirenia combines strong melodic instrumentals, keyboard synthesis, and guitar works with light, female vocals (Fabienne Gondamin, Henriette Bordvik, Monika Pedersen, and currently Ailyn), male death vocals, and a choir. Current band members are Morten Veland (programming, growling, clean vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards), Ailyn (female vocals), Jonathan Perez (drums), and Michael Krumins (guitars, ex-Green Carnation).
Most of Sirenia’s songs are atmospheric, yet intense with melodic backgrounds and interludes. The lyrics are concerned with human existence, emotion, and mental states.
Sirenia (at first called “Masters of Sirenia”), named after the Sirens of Greek mythology, was founded in 2001 after Morten Veland left Tristania. The band failed to find a suitable singer prior to recording in France, so they conducted auditions and found Fabienne Gondamin for the recording session of At Sixes and Sevens.
On the subsequent tour and follow-up album, An Elixir for Existence, Gondamin was replaced by Henriette Bordvik.
On September 13, 2005, it was announced that Bordvik would be leaving the band, and the search for a new singer commenced. Bordvik’s replacement, Monika Pedersen of the band Sinphonia, was introduced on April 10, 2006. In the same year, Bjørnar Landa (from Artifact) joined the band as a guitarist.

I've just realised I quite like NDAAD, with a few exceptions. And Monika doesn't sound horrible all the time.

Leaving the vastly overrated Tristania was the best thing Morten ever did, At sixes and sevens is the most perfect gothic metal album ever!

A new insight after the "omg-it's-new-Sirenia" craze subsided. Music: ASAS > AEFE > NDAAD > 13F; Voice: NDAAD > ASAS > 13F > AEFE; Conclusion: ASAS > NDAAD = AEFE > 13F. I can't help it. The 13th Floor is repetitive and I probably wouldn't listen it at all if this wasn't my favourite style.

@ Patricio, yeah I can't help it, the only ones who enjoyed the show were her and the drummer, Morten was also boring^^ Can't compare Sirenia's guitarist to the one from Stream of Passion, he was cool and just sick XD (Not meaning he actually was ill XD):P

though Ailyn seemed to be the only motivated person:D Especially the guitarist was just standing there. --> that sounds disappointing :S , I hope they change that...

You know what, Morten? You can write only THAT many songs about wandering in dreams and thinking thoughts of death.

I like Lost in Life, but a new single wouldn't necessarily have to be that one. :P And Ailyn is gorgeous so I wouldn't mind another video ^^

I don't want a new single because it's too obvious it would be Lost in life :/ and I really think that song is terrible. I hope they come to Chile someday :|!!

I agree with Umosay. Moreover their numeric video clips are completly uninterresting.

I'd rather they spend the money on recording a live show, where, you know - they actually play their instruments.
